Nominee directors & shareholders who protect your privacy
Keep your name off the public record while retaining full, legally-secured control of your Hong Kong company. Our vetted nominees appear on the register — you make every decision.
Confidentiality by design, control by contract
In Hong Kong, the names of directors and shareholders are recorded in the public Companies Register and can be searched by anyone. For many international entrepreneurs, investors and family offices, that level of exposure is simply incompatible with their privacy and security requirements.
Nominarium solves this cleanly. A trusted nominee is appointed as director and/or shareholder of record, so it is their name — not yours — that appears on public filings. Meanwhile, an airtight suite of protection documents ensures you, the beneficial owner, retain complete legal and practical control over the company at all times.
Every nominee on our roster is personally known to us, professionally vetted, and backed by the same watertight documentation. The arrangement is fully compliant with Hong Kong law and structured to withstand scrutiny from banks, auditors and counterparties.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Do I lose control of my company?
No. The protection documents — declaration of trust, general power of attorney and an undated resignation letter — ensure you retain full legal and operational control at all times. The nominee acts strictly on your instructions.
Is using a nominee legal in Hong Kong?
Yes. Nominee arrangements are a long-established and lawful practice in Hong Kong, provided they are properly documented and the beneficial owner is disclosed to regulated parties such as banks where required.
Will my bank know who the real owner is?
Banks apply KYC and will identify the ultimate beneficial owner as part of account opening. Our structures are designed to be fully transparent to banks and auditors while keeping your name off the public register.
Which nominee should I choose?
It depends on your structure. A local Hong Kong resident suits arrangements needing a genuine local director; a high-credibility verified professional suits structures facing greater scrutiny. We advise you on the best fit.
